Advisory Business
A.
Firm Description. The Advisor is registered with the SEC pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act
of 1940. The Advisor is an Indiana limited liability company formed in 2024. Our Firm Principal is Robert
J. Dalzell, whose education and business background are set forth in Form ADV Part 2B. The owners of
the Advisor are Robert J. Dalzell (20%) and FNEX, LLC (80%).
2
Advisory Services. The Advisor serves as investment manager to a select group of individuals,
B.
high-net-worth individuals, families, family offices, businesses and other institutions and assists them in
building, protecting, and transitioning wealth.
In general, we manage client accounts according to a disciplined investment process which utilizes
financial expertise, experience and investment techniques to research and evaluate fundamental factors
in seeking to achieve the client’s objectives. Our investment advice is primarily focused on marketable
securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies.
There is no guarantee that our investment strategy will be successful
Tailored Advice. We manage separate accounts pursuant to the investment guidelines,
C.
objectives and restrictions set forth in our agreements with such clients.
Amount of Assets Managed. As of December 31, 2025, we manage $ 122,263,863 assets on a
D.
discretionary basis and $46,625 on a non-discretionary basis.
Item 5.
Fees and Compensation
A.
Advisory Fees. Our standard fee for separately-managed accounts is 1.0% per annum billed to
the client on a quarterly basis in arrears. Fees for separate account management are negotiable in our
sole discretion and lower fees are available for account relationships in excess of $ 1 million.
Other Fees or Expenses. Our separate account advisory fees are exclusive of brokerage
B.
commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses which shall be incurred by the
client. Clients may incur certain additional charges imposed by custodians, brokers, and other third
parties such as fees charged by managers, custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials,
transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts
and securities transactions. To the extent client assets are invested in mutual funds and exchange
traded funds, such funds charge advisory, administrative and other fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s
prospectus. As a result, clients will pay two levels of advisory fees with respect to such assets, one to us
and one to the mutual fund’s investment adviser. Fund charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of
and in addition to our fee, and we do not receive any portion of these commissions, fees or costs.
More information regarding our brokerage practices is contained below in Item 12.
Other Compensation. Our firm and our employees do not accept compensation for the sale of
C.
securities or other investment products.
Item 6.
Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Performance-based fee arrangements may create an incentive for us to recommend investments which
may be riskier or more speculative than those which would be recommended under a different fee
arrangement. Currently, we do not charge performance-based fees on any accounts.

Item 7.
Types of Clients
We generally offer investment advisory services to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, families,
family offices, businesses and other institutions.
Item 8.
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
In managing client assets, our investment
A. Investment Strategies and Methods of Analysis.
objective is to seek above market returns and long-term appreciation of client assets. We seek to
accomplish this objective by primarily acquiring equity securities of well managed companies that
possess durable competitive advantages at market prices significantly below our assessment of their
intrinsic value. We use fundamental financial analysis to compare the anticipated future free cash flows
of a company to its current market prices. The decision to buy or sell securities is based on the
opportunity cost approach to capital management. We will purchase and sell securities at such times as
we deem in the best interest of clients without regard to portfolio turnover, as to which there are no
restrictions.
As with any investment, there can be no assurance that clients’ investment objectives will be achieved
and that a client will not lose a portion or all of its investment.
The material risks presented by our investment strategies and methods of
B. Material Risks.
analysis are set forth below. This brochure does not purport to contain a complete disclosure of all risks
that may be relevant. Investing involves risk of loss that a client or an investor in the Fund should be
prepared to bear.
Securities Risk. We invest in equity securities which generally involve a high degree of risk. Prices
are volatile and market movements are difficult to predict. Furthermore, we do not expect to
hold a widely diversified portfolio of issues by industry or issuer. Some issuers may have small
capitalizations, limited operating histories, limited following from Wall Street brokerage firms
and may be vulnerable to competition from larger companies. In addition, trading in small
issuers or privately held issuers may be problematic due to liquidity issues.
Non-Diversification and Sector Concentration. We may invest in a limited number of issuers.
Non-diversification among issuers may involve an increased risk of loss if the market value of an
individual security should decline. We may also focus from time to time on particular industries
or market sectors and such focus may change from time to time and may produce varying levels
of sector concentration. If we concentrate the clients’ investments in an industry or market
sector, financial, economic, business and other developments affecting issuers in that industry
or sector will have a greater effect than if we had not concentrated the clients’ assets in that
industry or sector.
Risks Relating to Options. If we sell a put option which is covered (i.e., we have a short position
in the underlying security), it will assume the risk of an increase in the market price of the
underlying security above the sales price (in establishing the short position) of the underlying
security plus the premium received, and give up the opportunity for gain on the underlying
security below the exercise price of the option. If we sell a put option when the clients also own
a put option covering an equivalent number of shares with an exercise price equal to or greater
than the exercise price of the put written, the position is “fully hedged” if the option owned
4
expires at the same time or later than the option written. If we sell an uncovered put option, the
clients will assume the risk of a decline in the market price of the underlying security below the
exercise price of the option. If we buy a put option, the clients will assume the risk of losing their
entire investment in the put option. If we hold the underlying security, the loss on the put will
be offset in whole or in part by any gain on the underlying security.
If we sell a call option which is covered (i.e., the clients hold the underlying security), it will
assume the risk of a decline in the market price of the underlying security below the purchase
price of the underlying security less the premium received, and give up the opportunity for gain
on the underlying security above the exercise price of the option. If we sell an uncovered call
option, the clients will assume the risk of a theoretically unlimited increase in the market price
of the underlying security above the exercise price of the option. If we buy a call option, the
clients will assume the risk of losing their entire investment in the call option. If we buy a call
option and sell short the underlying security the loss on the call option will be offset, in whole or
in part, by any gain on the short sale of the underlying security.
General Economic, Market and Political Conditions. The success of our activities will be affected
by general economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation
rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws, trade barriers, currency exchange controls and
national and international political circumstances, including terrorism, war or the threat of
terrorism or war. These factors may affect the level and volatility of securities prices and the
liquidity of the clients’ investments. Volatility or illiquidity could impair the clients’ profitability
or result in losses.
Item 9.
Disciplinary Information
There are no legal or disciplinary events to disclose.
Item 10.
Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
One of our owners, FNEX, LLC has under common control and ownership an SEC and FINRA-registered
broker-dealer. The Advisor does not currently conduct any form of business or transactions with that
entity.
Item 11.
Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
We have adopted certain written supervisory procedures (the “Procedures”) which set forth the
standards of business, fiduciary and ethical conduct required of our employees. We will provide a copy
of the Procedures to any client or prospective client upon request.
We permit our employees to engage in the trading of securities for their personal accounts. Such trading
presents potential and actual conflicts of interest when the securities traded are the same as securities
we trade for client accounts. Theoretically, if an employee desires to purchase a security also held in
client accounts, but does not want to pay current market value for the security, the employee could sell
the security out of the client accounts and drive the market price down before making the personal
investment. Similar manipulative behavior could occur if the employee desires to sell a personal security
5
holding, but sells it out of client accounts first in an effort to drive up the price before the employee
sells.
Given our small size and the nature of the securities we invest in, it is highly unlikely these transactions
would be capable of moving the market price of any security such that our personal transactions could
benefit. Notwithstanding, we require employees to report their personal trades and account holdings
and we review them for any potentially manipulative activity.
Item 12.
Brokerage Practices
Generally, portfolio transactions for separately-managed accounts will be traded and executed through
the brokerage account maintained by the Advisor with Charles Schwab. Charles Schwab is independent
of, and is not affiliated with, us, our principals or owners.
It is our policy to allocate suitable investment opportunities fairly and equitably to clients with the same
or similar investment objectives over time. A security will be suitable for an account if it is consistent
with the investment objectives, strategies and risk tolerance of the account and permitted by the
investment restrictions and limitations applicable to the account. Where an investment opportunity is
suitable for both the Fund and the separate account, it is our policy that all such accounts shall
participate in the transaction, subject to our determination that participating in the transaction is not in
the account’s best interest for reasons such as:
Lack of available cash
•
• Net exposure to holding, industry or sector is higher than desired
• Specific client restrictions, e.g., industry or sector limits
We may invest in securities being offered in an initial public offering (“IPO” or “new issue”), if we
determine that such an investment is desirable for one or more clients. In making this judgment, we
shall consider, among other things, a client’s investment objectives, restrictions and tax circumstances; a
client’s tolerance for risk and high portfolio turnover; the nature, size and investment merits of the IPO;
the size of a client’s account and the client’s cash availability and other holdings; and other current or
expected competing investment opportunities that may be available for the account.
Sometimes the demand for new issues exceeds the supply, and the amount of certain new issues made
available to us may be limited. If we are not able to obtain the total amount of securities needed to fill
all orders, if necessary we will allocate the shares actually obtained on a pro rata basis. All such
allocations are monitored to ensure that clients are treated fairly and equitably over time and that no
clients are systematically disadvantaged.
Internal cross transactions are trades between advisory client accounts. Principal transactions are
trades between a client account and an account of ours or one of our employees. We prohibit both
cross transactions and principal transactions.
On occasion, a mistake may occur in the execution of a trade. As a fiduciary, we owe clients duties of
loyalty and trust, and as such must treat trade errors in a fair and equitable manner. Errors may occur
for a number of reasons, including human input error, systems error, communications error or incorrect
application or understanding of a guideline or restriction. Examples of errors include, but are not
limited to, the following: buying securities not authorized for a client’s account; buying or selling
6
incorrect securities; buying or selling incorrect amounts of securities; and buying or selling in violation of
one of our policies. In correcting trade errors, we do not: make the client account absorb any financial
loss due to the trade error; use soft dollars or directed trades to fix the error; or attempt to fix the error
using another client account. To the extent correction of the error results in a loss to the client’s
account, we reimburse the account. To the extent correction of the error results in a gain to the client’s
account, we allow the client to keep the benefit.
Item 13.
Review of Accounts
Client portfolios are monitored daily by our Firm Principal. We do not currently provide account
statements to separate account clients. Statements are made available by the broker/dealer or
custodian. Clients should review their statements carefully for any errors.
Item 14.
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
We do not receive any economic benefit (e.g., sales awards or other prizes) from non-clients for
providing investment advice or advisory services. Further, we do not compensate any person for client
referrals.
Item 15.
Custody
We do not serve as the qualified custodian of client assets and do not maintain physical custody of any
account assets. Each of our clients has an independent, third-party custodian, Charles Schwab. We are
deemed by the applicable regulatory rules to have custody of our separate account clients because we
may deduct fees directly from client accounts. We seek to comply with the applicable custody
requirements by obtaining written authorization from clients to deduct fees, and by effectively providing
notice to the custodian and the client describing the fees. Currently, our separate account clients receive
monthly statements from their broker/dealer custodian that identifies the amount of funds and each
security in the account at the end of the period and sets forth all transactions in the account during that
period. Clients should carefully review all such monthly statements received from their broker/dealer
custodian.
Item 16.
Investment Discretion
In respect to separate accounts, we receive discretionary authority in the investment management
agreement executed with the client at the outset of an advisory relationship. The accounts over which
we exercise investment discretion are generally subject to investment restrictions and guidelines
developed in consultation with clients. These restrictions and guidelines customarily impose limitations
on the types of securities that may be purchased and also generally limit the percentage of account
assets that may be invested in certain types of securities. Additional policies may be set by a client’s
board or investment committee. We are generally authorized to make the following determinations,
consistent with each client’s investment goals and policies, without client consultation or consent before
a transaction is effected:
7
• Which securities or other investments to buy or sell;
• The total amount of securities or other investments to buy or sell;
• The broker or dealer through whom securities are bought or sold;
• The price at which securities or other investments are to be bought or sold, which may
include dealer spreads or mark-ups and transactions costs.
We may also accept non-discretionary arrangements, where clients retain investment discretion with
respect to transactions in the account. In these situations, the client’s retention of discretion may cause
the client to lose possible advantages that discretionary clients may derive from factors that result from
our ability to act on its recommendations for those discretionary clients in a more timely fashion, such
as the aggregation of orders for several clients as a single transaction.
We may act as investment manager to other clients now or in the future and each account’s investment
restrictions and guidelines may differ. All investment decisions for an account are made in accordance
with the investment restrictions and guidelines of that account. Investment decisions for each account
are made with a view to achieving the account’s investment objectives and after consideration of such
factors as the account’s current holdings, the current investment views of the Firm Principal, availability
of cash for investment and the size of the account’s positions generally.
Item 17.
Voting Client Securities
We do not vote proxies on behalf of our clients. Clients will be notified by the custodian of any proxy
votes that require their attention.
Item 18.
Financial Information
Registered investment advisers are required to provide certain financial information or disclosures
about their financial condition. We have no financial condition that impairs our ability to meet
contractual commitments to clients and have never been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
